Florida’s former economic crimes division director takes job at foreclosure firm office was investigating

The former Economic Crimes Division director for the Florida Attorney General’s office was hired this summer by a Fort Lauderdale law firm previously under investigation by the office for its foreclosure practices.

Mary Leontakianakos left the attorney general’s office in January, joining the Law Offices of Marshall C. Watson in June.

Marshall C. Watson was one of the original firms to be investigated in an inquiry started in August by former attorney general Bill McCollum. The firm, admitting no wrongdoing, settled with the state in March for $2 million.

The move by Leontakianakos was pointed out in a 16-page memo written by Andrew Bennett Spark, an assistant attorney general in the Tampa office of economic crimes.

Spark’s memo, which he emailed to several media outlets today, lists several concerns he has with the attorney general’s office. He said he was motivated to write the memo by the publicity surrounding the forced resignations of former state foreclosure investigators Theresa Edwards and June Clarkson. He also mentions the June hiring of former deputy attorney general Joe Jacquot by Lender Processing Services, which is also under state investigation.
